Bill Ayers (misceginist pimp) and the Culture of Rape By M. Catharine Evans
"Frontpage Magazine and several other sites published Donna Ron's account of what happened one Friday night in 1965. The terms "psychological rape" or "date rape" had not yet been coined but Ms. Ron's story, the kind the Left are so fond of, suggests Ayers was at most a rapist; at least, a sexual deviant...
"Ayers told me I couldn't go until I slept with his (black) roommate and his brother...
At first I thought Ayers was joking. I got up; and went to the door. He moved quickly to block me at the doorway. He locked the door and put the chain on it. I went to the couch and sat down and told him that I had no intention of having sex with his roommate and his brother or him. He said that I had no choice but to do as he said if I wanted to get out of there. He claimed that I wouldn't sleep with his married roommate because he was black -- that I was a bigot. I had gone to school with black kids and had them as friends all my life. I couldn't believe he was saying that to me. I felt trapped. I had to get out of the situation I was in and because he was so effective a guilt-tripper, I also felt I had to prove to him that I wasn't a bigot. I got up from the couch and walked over to the black roommate's bed and put myself on it and he f***** me. I went totally out of my body. I floated beside myself on the outside and above the bed looking at this black stranger f*** me angrily while I hated myself..."

He said he and two friends had just cut through a woodline and were walking when they heard insults from a nearby duplex. “They were yelling that this was their street, ‘This is our street, crackers. What do you have in your pockets, crackers? This is our street,’” the victim said. The victim said the group just kept on walking until they got to the end of the street and they were attacked. A fugitive taskforce arrested Willis, 32, at the duplex. Investigators said they found a shotgun and evidence linking Willis to the crime when they arrested him.
